It doesnt reall matter anyway. I mean whether you have the traits of the disorder, or the disorder...You feel the same way. You "need the same therapy".
Anyway....My borderline traits have just become apparent to me in the last year despite the fact that I have...

“I recognized within myself the extreme "one or the other" behavioral patterns associated with Borderline Personality Disorder and was able to apply the Mindfulness practices and Dialectical perspective of “DBT” to my life history of extreme "roller coaster...

I took a test.
A test to see.
I KNOW ITS NOT REAL GOSH.
But I scored severe man.
I just feel So ANGRY.
Must destory something.
I stole money to buy something (from parents)
HELP.
So sad. So angry. Can't control it....
Okay that doesn't keep stuff.
Here's a picture...

For now I only think I have borderline traits. I had more in the past.
When I was in my early 20's I was borderline I think. I was emotionally dependent on my partner, though I tried to avoid showing him. I cut myself. I had rage/anger short moments...

things.. I have a lot of traits of Borderline Personality Disorder.... The only thing is, I don't get that angry most of the time. I don't let myself. But, looking at the criteria for the diagnoses, I have a lot of the symptoms .-. Oh well.....

The way my mind works has always scared me & I always assumed that was something everyone felt but never voiced. Maybe it is, I really couldn't say. But I was reading something a friend had written about Borderlive Personality Disorder and suddenly I was scared & relieved...

Tonight i am devastated because I've had to see the friend who betrayed me. She has the nerve to still come to my soccer team, that I invited her to, even after she has betrayed me. I am so triggered by her being there...and even worse, she is trying to make friends with some...

for BPD but have recovered enough of myself to not quite qualify as borderline...but sometimes I see it in my behavior. It is a reminder to be mindful.
My borderline traits creep in when that special person is absent for a little longer than expected and I start to stress. It...

I am writing because I believe I have been living with BPD since middle school, when I think it begins to manifest. Life has been hell in many ways, and because I come from a neglectful home, I continued to neglect myself and not even permit myself to psychologically fall apart...

Making decisions is very triggering for me. I get so lost in all my different versions of myself...
Even when the decisions are between 2 really good options. Everyone thinks I should feel blessed, but i get angry at how messed up I am.
For example, I got a job offer...

Growing up with a mother with Borderline Personality Disorder
If you are a parent with borderline personality disorder or any other type of mental illness, do not run away and I hope you don’t take this personally or become defensive...

Could I possibly have BDP?..
I honestly don't know what to say, I'm not sure what I'm doing looking for advice/help on an online forum. But things feel so strange to me right now that I'm not even comfortable fully asking for help at the moment. I have always been acutely aware...

it feels as if all my life i knew i was different, been to counseling, seen psychiatrists, psychologists all types of counselors and they all had a different answer for me. it wasn't till my husband went to see a pschyologist for his alcoholism, and was given a book called...

This is the third segment in a series on my Blogger blog that I am doing on Borderline Personality Disorder. Most of the series, I give very personal examples as my mother is a severe BPD without treatment and I have BPD with treatment and I am doing very well.
According...

no identity. I think this describes is quite nicely. "One of the biggest and most challenging aspects of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is often ‘The Chameleon Effect’ – or ‘mirroring’. This is the constant, unconscious change in the person’s ‘self’, as...

To close my Borderline Personality Disorder Series, I wanted to review some common traits and terms relating to BPD. I hope the series was informative and helpful. Some of the information below comes from two books that I highly recommend which are Stop Walking on Eggshells...

I just want this to go away this illness I have and maybe just maybe people wouldn't look down on me.Or maybe they would.Sometimes I cant look at myself in the mirror.I hate what i have become.This monster.No friends or family that care.I'm Angelina and this is how I feel today...

“Amae” is a word in Japanese that means sweet dependency. It is a word that embraces our primal need for a sense of oneness and belonging. In the United States, where we work so hard to establish our separateness and independence, our hearts and bodies are left with a deep...

Apparently I have BPD or have Borderline traits. I do have an abandonment issue and abandonment trauma that has to do with my medical trauma from when I was from birth to age 8. During these years I was in and out of the hospital a lot of those years!
Anyway, when I get in a...

self. I've always struggled to find out who I was, who I wanted to be. Some days I'd be the punk rocker, other days I'd be the hippie kid. My behaviour, my interests, my thoughts... how I defined myself constantly changed. I never really found an even ground with myself. It's...

really like me and so they isolate and abandon me
I feel so alone...it hurts thinking about love
I can't keep a relationship because of my emotional instability
I'm impulsive and angry sometimes like I'll do something and just keep crying and telling myself it's not my fault...

so rapidly today and I've been so irritable, then when I get backlash I immediately feel suicidal, like the scum of the earth. But I still feel stubborn and like I can't back down because the universe is against me. I've gone from idealizing my girlfriend and our relationship to...

had, but now i'm starting to suspect i have borderline personality disorder and I'm almost so sure of it. I'm a very unstable person and I can go from being so angry and wanting to kill someone to being so calm and peaceful. I can't control my emotions and my emotions are...

A few months ago I wrote how my partner told me he could not handle my mental health issues and wanted to leave me. He did not at the time. But he did this weekend. He called me names, blamed me for everything I am, I do, think or believe. He kicked me out of his flat. He was so...

For a long time in my life I've had suspicions that I might be. Ever since I was young, actually.
I have a hard time explaining things, so I will just list the traits that relate to me strongly, and try my best to elaborate on it.
Fear of Abandonment: This is probably my most...

With each new relationship, I throw myself into the fire and beg that I be a flame at least for a little while, before I burn myself to ashes.
Bikram yoga is something that is allowing me to tolerate distress in community with others. Never has a practice guaranteed to me that...

I am at a place where I am admitting my abuse of substances. I self medicate to try and deal with my deep deep trauma and attempt to hold my life together.
Should I quit all that i have accomplished and move home where I can unfold and give up all my pretense and effort? I want...

According to the DSM the criteria to meet borderline personality disorder the five of the following features must be present (however, many people have the traits that are related to other mental health issues or just may not meet the crieteria which means they still have the...

My new mantra is "move away from the pain" . I think us borderlines go towards pain too much. I think it has to do with our underdeveloped skills for self protection and our repetition compulsion. for me the repetition compulsion must be the re-experiencing of abandonment i...

NOT!
Today I waved my children off, as they return to America to live with their father, on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. I felt a brief dip of sadness and loneliness, totally disproportionate to the level of anguish I should have been feeling. (Remember, Twisted, under...

I was born in Southeast Texas. My mother did not want me so she left me in the hospital after I was born. My maternal grandmother who never learned to drive took a cab from the next town over to pick me up and bring me home. I lived with her from then up until I was 11 years old...

So Ricky, let's think of this as a new slate to write & pour your heart out on, for the world -- ok scratch that, for only those you hold dear...to see. Can you feel anything if the hole is overwhelmingly empty. Does that still count for anything? I feel so discombobulated lately...

I have recently been researching how to cope with some of the things in life that I find difficult and came across a description of Borderline Personality Disorder, and I identify with many of the traits. Maybe someone who has it can tell me if it is likely I have the disorder...

I have always been qualified as a "different" child; one day enjoying my own company, another one mingling and socialising. Shy and quiet but extroverted and loud at the same time. I remember seeing a child psychiatrist when I was about 6 years old. I was being physically and...

I wrote him an email detailing all that I believed had been miscommunicated between us, hoping that he would see and believe that it was never my intention to be inconsiderate of his feelings or point of view. I ached and felt desolate at the thought that all of my fantasies...

I've never actually been officially diagnosed, but sometimes I'm convinced I have BPD. I can get super depressed and emotional over the most trivial things, feeling stuck in this dark cloud of negativity, and even wanting to hurt myself at times. It's something that is hard for...

Or at least I have so many of the traits attached to it. I've found myself reading through a lot of different sites and stories. So much of the time I'm just thinking that is just how I feel or I know exactly what that is, but for me though I'm missing some very major symptoms...
